One of the signs of the season is the magical lights adorning trees and houses. Now you can wrap up in a brightly colored cowl and take the magic of Christmas lights with you wherever you go!

Slip stitch is most often done with knit stitches. This pattern uses a slip-purl combination to make one side of your cowl knobby purl bumps and the other a flat palette of wrapped knit stitches. Like normal slip stitch patterns, you will only use one color at a time for the body of the cowl.
